Sentence analysis-unusual sentence
Another example of discrimination is if a child in Peru does not know Spanish, they are discouraged from attending schools where Spanish is the main and formal language.
Another example of discrimination=noun phrase (subject)
is=linking verb
How would you analyse the rest of the sentence?
if a child in Peru does not know Spanish=is the noun clause (subject complement)
they are discouraged from attending schools =main clause
The noun clause (if a child...) also seems to be the adverb clause for the main clause following it. Is this possible?

I'd agree with this one! Although it has a slight error. (for children who don't know HOW To speak...).
The second example you offered I think is incorrect because there is a comma between the subject an
